Jared Leone, candidate for Clearwater City Council, Seat 3, is proud to accept the endorsement from the Sierra Club, a 125-year-old grassroots environmental-focused organization.
“I am grateful to be recognized as the best candidate for Seat 3 and am excited to usher in a new generation of leadership in the City of Clearwater,” Leone said.
As a long-time steward of the environment, Leone has served on the city’s Environmental Advisory Board for seven years and as chairman of that board for the last six years. During his tenure, he wrote Clearwater’s resolution to reduce the use of single-use plastics. He also helped revive GreenPrint, the city’s dormant sustainability plan and advocated for the hiring of a sustainability coordinator to oversee that plan.
He is vice president of Keep Pinellas Beautiful and president of Spring Branch Neighborhood Association, where he worked with the city to recognize and invest in State Street Park, a nearly 9-acre oasis of undeveloped greenspace. Leone has helped organize and participate in neighborhood cleanups that were instrumental in the removal of more than 5,000 pounds of trash from the neighborhood in the last four years.
The Suncoast Sierra Club, the Pinellas County affiliate, works to elect environmentally aware candidates, advocates for clean energy and the preservation of greenspace throughout our community.
